Machinist is no longer fun

[Khattar]

I was fine with being under-tuned and less utility than Bard. The play style was fun and engaging enough to stick with it. For some reason SE decided to destroy the fun part by reducing Heated shots from 10 - 5. That means less Cooldown weaving, less managing, less dps, less fun.

The overdrive abilities are still garbage and situational. Flamethrower has so much potential and is still garbage. Overheating is still garbage. Its barely worth the trouble to overheat so why is that even a mechanic?

All of these issues aside, they need to revert those heat changes they made to our 1-2-3 combo ASAP and start over.

This, I LOVED the original 4.0 changes but the Heat Reductions to all of our skills just make me shake my head and wonder what the hell they were thinking. Yes keeping your heat balanced was complex, but it was /fun/ once you knew how to do it right. Now MCH is back to being the same mundane mess it was before hand, only with a slightly different coat of paint and WAY less damage and utility. They really need to either rework the role system entirely and give us back our Promotion abilities /or/ get rid of the proc chances entirely and up the potency to some of the skills. Either way 4.0 and 4.05 have shown that SE really /really/ has no idea what to do with MCH.
